Irakaa

Irakaa (in Aran, "the one who sees all"; lit. "all-eye") is a spirit in the folklore of the Aran people (Aranvalar), who inhabit the Plains of the River Yuu basin. Named "the Sentinel of Fate", Irakaa is associated with fate, the future, and precognition.

Like most other spirits and figures in the Aran people's belief system, Irakaa does not have a clear form, instead taking the shape of different animals, chiefly a hawk. Irakaa does not have an established gender either.

Amongst the Aranvalar, the ability to see the future (especially in dreams) is known as "Irakaa's gift". Notable people with Irakaa's gift in the Story include Aaru and Sanaajha. Gilas, a Vachai acolyte from Cōrienor, also possesses a similar ability, though Aaru is uncertain if it can truly be considered "Irakaa's gift", as, like all other Aran spirits, Irakaa is intrinsically tied to the Aranvalar and the Plains of the Yuu.
